A drive for better air service: How air service imbalances across neighboring regions integrate air and highway demands
Download2019-11-07
Between 2000-2010, newly merged U.S. airlines decreased service to airports in small and midsized metropolitan regions, opting to consolidate their operations at high-value airport hubs (passenger transfer points). At this point travelers living in small and mid-sized regions likely began...

Development and evaluation of adaptive transit signal priority control with updated transit delay model
Download2019-11-12
Han, X., Li, P., Sikder, R., Qiu, Z., Kim, A.
Transit signal priority (TSP) strategies are widely used to reduce bus travel delay and to increase bus service reliability. State-of-the-art strategies enable dynamic (and optimal), rather than predetermined, TSP plans to reflect real-time traffic conditions. These dynamic plans are called...

Factors Affecting Classification of Road Segments into High-and Low-Speed Collision Regimes
Download2019-11-12
Gargoum, S., Li, Y., El-Basyouny, K., Kim, A.
The safety of locations operating under high-speed conditions could significantly differ from that of locations operating under low-speed conditions. Therefore, different approaches must be adopted when analyzing and managing speed and safety at locations operating under different regimes....

Modeling multimodal freight transportation scenarios in Northern Canada under climate change impacts
Download2019-11-06
In Canada’s Northwest Territories, goods are delivered to remote communities and natural resource extraction sites by inland barge, trucks, and for some goods, air. Combinations of all-weather and winter roads are used in the winter months, while river barge transport and all-weather roads are...

Woo, M., Hui, K. T. Y., Ren, K., Gan, K. E., Kim, A.
The May 2016 wildfire of Northern Alberta – the costliest wildfire disaster in Canadian history to date – led to an area-wide evacuation by road and air. Traffic count and flight data were used to assess the characteristics of the evacuation, including estimating people movements by vehicle and...

Relationship between road safety and mobile photo enforcement performance indicators: A case study of the city of Edmonton
Download2019-11-12
Li, R., El-Basyouny, K., Kim, A., Gargoum, S.
Mobile photo enforcement (MPE) programs are commonly implemented to regulate speed and improve road safety. However, most previous research focuses mainly on validating the safety effects of MPE, with very minimal discussion on the enforcement performance indicators (EPIs). Therefore, the goal of...

Rethinking business-as-usual: Mackenzie River freight transport in the context of climate change impacts in northern Canada
Download2019-11-07
The Mackenzie River is a major transportation route serving many remote northern Canadian communities and mining sites. The river is only navigable during the summer and early fall, when clear of ice. However, the river’s water conditions have changed significantly in recent years, and are...
